Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 455 Fiction

   "I thought the inner city of Montrego was so difficult to enter, but it has been eaten away by moths long ago." Murphy snorted disdainfully, and reassessed the difficulty of the city of Montrego in his heart.

   "To be on the safe side, first arrange for someone to try to see if they can get in. If they can, buy a few more. We will leave tomorrow to formally enter the inner city to investigate the situation." Verac said.

"Let me go." Obrador took a sip of water, took the pass and walked out the door, "I didn't dare to try it at first, I wanted to hear your opinions first. Now I'm basically sure, wait for my good news. "

   "Be careful." Verak sent Obrador out.

  Murphy sat on the chair and watched Verak come back after closing the door: "Have you thought about how to find a suitable partner, and how to make the other party obliged to cooperate with us?"

Verak lit another cigarette, and sat opposite Murphy and Connie: "You have to go to the inner city to get a clue about how to find a candidate. Now even the basic information is completely unknown, and all the methods you can think of can be solved." How solid is it? As for how to have the confidence to make the other party have to cooperate with us, I am still thinking about it.”

   "You told the kids you'd give them an answer the day after tomorrow, is there time?" Connie asked.

   "As long as this method can be achieved, we will use our funds to settle the children first." Verak glanced at his watch, and there was still some time, "Two, let's go, let's go to the tailor shop and clothing store."

   "What are you doing there?" Murphy frowned.

  When you are so busy, you still go to a clothing store? It's not like something Veraker could do.

"Comrade Obrador should be able to buy all the passes later, so we have to enter the inner city tomorrow. Do you think we can be treated seriously by those dignitaries with our current clothes?" Verak Explain why.

  The well-dressed clothes are the first business card they hand out to their partners.

  If you don’t even have this, make the other person willing to sit down and listen to your own ideas, and believe that you can do it.

  Connie hesitated for a moment and said, "Either you two should go. Murphy can help translate later, I can't help much, and I have to spend more money to customize or rent clothes."

   "Did you forget that you want to protect my safety?" Verak said with a smile, "One is my translator and the other is my bodyguard, so it looks really interesting."

   This is also part of Verak's plan.

   Demonstrate your own strength in all aspects as much as possible, so that it is easier to be convincing when talking about things, and it is helpful to reach cooperation.

The three of them left the hotel and walked closer to the inner city. They saw a fairly standard clothing store. They each picked clothes with good texture and style. After paying a large deposit, they each The shotgun changed and returned to the hotel.

   "You guys are..." When Obrador came back, he almost didn't recognize the three people who had changed into dignitaries.

   In particular, Veraker has received 'special training' and is very familiar with the words, deeds, and temperament of nobles. After changing into formal clothes, he immediately seems to be a different person.

"Comrade Vilak said that you need to change your clothes when you enter the inner city tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with those powerful people, so we rented three sets. By the way, have you bought the pass?" Connie looked at Ovra from left to right. Dole, Murphy.

   "I tried it, and I can go in. After I came out, I went to the dealer and bought seven more." Obrador waited for Murphy to finish translating Connie's words, and distributed the purchased passes to the three.

"That's fine, go to the inner city early tomorrow morning." Verak said while taking off his clothes and hanging them on the hanger. It will be troublesome if you need to rent a new one.”

  They have now paid for the pass purchase, the rental of clothes for this operation, and have to settle the children the day after tomorrow. These expenditures alone make them breathless, and they have to tighten their belts to live.

  If an additional sum of compensation is added and the task fails, let alone helping the children, they themselves have to beg and wander.

  Verak couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he thought of this.

  I just told everyone that the children can help, but it can't affect their main task, so I took a risk and tied it with them. But the reason why it has developed to the present point is because once this matter is successful, both they and the children will benefit.

   It's worth the risk.

"Murphy, I would like to trouble you one more thing. Buy back as many newspapers as possible that have been published by Montrego City Daily in the past month. Of course, it is best to buy earlier ones." Changing back to the original clothes, Veraker arranged.

   "You want to learn about the situation in the inner city from the newspaper?" Murphy guessed Verak's purpose.

"Yeah." Verak picked up a few newspapers in the hotel and started to read them, "I can't just look for someone on the streets of the inner city tomorrow, if I can find someone from the recent newspapers, it will undoubtedly be the easiest Cost-effective."

   "Okay, I'll do it." Murphy agreed.

   "I'll go too." Obrador, who had been busy all day, left with Murphy.

  In the evening, Lopez, De, Yanez, and Muskis, who were still in charge of investigating the situation in various areas of the outer city, returned.

  Murphy was not there, so Veraker could only explain what happened in the afternoon clearly with the few words and sentences he knew, combined with gestures, telegraphs, rented clothes, inner city passes and other items.

  After experiencing all kinds of inconveniences after coming to Montrego, Verac firmly decided to learn the Montrego language.

  Indeed, after Menglege's work is over, I will go to many places. Whether I can learn a language in one place is a huge challenge and unknown, but I can't give up just because it is difficult.

  Whether it works or not, you need to try your best to know.

  Late at night, Lopez and others, who had been running all day, had gone back to their respective rooms to sleep, and Murphy and Obrador finally came back with a stack of newspapers.

"Not only the ones from the past month, but also the ones from the past three months. In addition to the ones from the Montrego City Daily, there are also newspapers from other local small newspapers." Panting, Murphy put the newspapers on the table .

   "The past three months have been exactly right, thank you for your hard work." Verak didn't rush to look through, first poured a glass of water for the two of them, and then brought over the dinner that had been reserved for them.

"Actually, there are older ones in the inventory over there, but I think it's too long ago. There have been earth-shaking changes in the past so long, but the reference value is not very big, so I didn't waste money." Murphy slowed down for a while. , before drinking the water Verak poured.

   "Smart." Verak immediately poured another glass, "The past three months are basically the limit of information available."

  Murphy picked up the cutlery and said, "However, there are not a lot of newspapers in three months. We are busy tonight. I will eat first, and I will check with you after dinner."

   "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Verac didn't understand Montregovin's newspaper very well, so he still had to wait for Murphy to read it for him after dinner.

   After the meal, Obrador, who was so tired that he could hardly keep his eyes open, returned to the next room to rest. Verac and Murphy sat side by side in front of the desk lamp, starting from today's newspaper.

  Connie was not to be outdone, she sat on the other side and started to learn Montrego and Montrego seriously.

"Look at this report." It didn't take long for Murphy to notice potentially useful information, "This report said that several banks have closed down recently. These bankers are heavily in debt and have no foundation. I think It's quite suitable as a partner, let them help us win over the powerful."

"Urgent money, no foundation and no ability to eat black after things are done... If you only look at these two points, they are really suitable." Verak followed the report that Murphy pointed to, although he couldn't see it. Know Montregorian.

   "But?" Murphy waited for Verak to change the subject.

"However, they have lost their power. How many dignitaries will pay attention to the charity dinner organized by them? Don't forget what I said in the morning. Only a few of the dignitaries donate money out of good intentions, and most of them actually donate money. They are all for the sake of fame. Therefore, the bigger the momentum, the more it will help the rich and powerful to earn a good reputation among them, and the funds raised in the end will be large enough." Verak carefully explained the requirements , "When you look for things in the future, you must be clear about this."

Murphy didn't rush to look back: "I'm worried that the partner is too powerful, and we won't get any benefit. On the contrary, these down-and-out bankers have no power and power. You may not earn much by cooperating with them. But our share will not be bad, and the funds earned in the end should be quite considerable.”

  Verak nodded slightly: "It makes sense, let's include it as a candidate first."

"Okay." Murphy recorded the information of these bankers, "In addition, these two people should also be worth noting. The couple are engaged in import and export trade, and they are well-known in the inner city. Now that the situation is so chaotic, they It should not be easy to do business, we provide a channel to make money from charity dinners, and they may agree to cooperate."

"Write down."

   "This is the deputy head of the inner city guard. His wife's family company has not been running smoothly recently. It is estimated that there is an urgent need for a capital turnover, but the opponent is too powerful, and we may be discarded after being used."

   "Write it down first."

"this…"

   Busy until 2:30 in the morning, the two finally finished flipping through the newspaper and listed dozens of candidates.

  Villac lit a cigarette to refresh himself: "Do a second round of screening, and then weed out a batch, try to narrow down the most suitable candidates, and visit them one by one tomorrow."

"I don't think there is a single one that fully meets our conditions. All of them are more or less lacking. If we want to filter, we have to keep those candidates whose problems are easier to solve." Murphy pinched the bridge of his nose to express his opinion .

   "Hiss... Huh..." Verak let out a puff of smoke, staring at the dozens of candidates and their situations that Murphy wrote down in Bresci.

   "Have you thought about how to ensure that the other party must cooperate with us?" Murphy looked at Verak who was thinking.

"...only a little idea." Verak flicked the ash into the ashtray, "The other party is responsible for organizing a charity dinner, and the resources of the rich and powerful are in their hands, so we have to hold something, so as not to be reduced to nothing. passive."

   "We have...children?"

"In the situation in the outer city, there is no shortage of displaced children. If we want to make it happen, they must cooperate with us, and they must not dare to attack us after the event is completed, and give us part of the money as promised." Verak Dao said, "I can think of the former, which is to show our value. If we can establish a complete and mature foundation, and fully provide the children's information to the partners, so that they can spread public opinion to gain attention and attract dignitaries to participate in charity dinners, At the same time, it also has the ability to improve the living conditions of the children. After the funds are in place, we can implement this and let the rich and powerful rest assured that the money will flow. If we help the partners save so much work and trouble, they should be willing to give us some hard work. For the latter, the best way is to grasp the opponent's handle. If the opponent dares to blackmail us, we will expose all this and ruin the opponent's reputation in the inner city."

Murphy quite agreed: "If we can provide the children's situation and the follow-up report of the charity, we can't replace it casually. As long as the price is right, the other party will not refuse to cooperate. It's just that the other party is willing to give based on these points. It’s definitely not a lot of hard work. If we want to fight further and achieve a real win-win situation, we’d better refer to your last sentence. As long as the other party feels that we are not worthy of cooperation and wants to go it alone, we will expose him and force him to cooperate with us.”

Verak chuckled a few times, and extinguished the burnt cigarette: "Yes, we have nothing, and we have an advantage over partners who have lived in the inner city for a long time and have many worries. If they refuse to cooperate, organize charity activities privately, or If you turn your face and deny people after working with us, we will definitely cut off their retreat."

   "In short, dealing with such a group of people, there is no morality to talk about. We must try our best to get the most share, help the children, and resolve our own financial problems." Murphy said.

"Um."

   "One more thing, will you come forward at that time? I'm afraid they will recognize your identity and won't cooperate if they learn that we are behind the International Equality Alliance." Murphy asked his own questions one by one.

"It's better to recognize it. Do you think they have the guts to continue attacking me after learning that I am a high-level executive of the International Equality League?" Verak laughed, "Don't be afraid of this, but I really want to take the initiative. Explain who we are."

"I think it's best to be true and false, neither admitting nor denying, so that the other party can't figure out our details, so they don't dare to make up our minds." Connie, who was also awake at the side, was learning Montrego Suddenly interrupted, "This is a bit like fighting."

  Verak praised: "This idea is good. The unknown enemy is the most terrifying. We have exposed a lot, so just a few people may not be able to restrain the other party."

   "Are these few clothes rented out a little too much?" Murphy focused on the expensive clothes that had caused them pain for a long time.

   The three looked at each other and smiled.
